Great insights around the Elbphilharmonie - Our young guide Georgina gave us excellent insights into the history of the city and interesting details about the Elbe harmony. Although we almost did not find the meeting place for the start of the tour (even the route planner failed), Georgina quickly made us forget about it.

The tour guide Christa (from Adventure World Tours) was just GREAT !!And definitely recommendable - On Saturday the 08.02.25 my sister and I had booked a guided tour / Elbphilharmonie. It was a really interesting and entertaining tour. Rarely does anyone experience that, among other things, " so many numbers" could "transmit" so vividly. CHRISTA also drew our attention to many small things in and around the Elbphilharmonie !!! It was a great tour. Respect for the knowledge of this lady!

Recommended walking tour to get to know the Elphi - The tour started outside and we got a lot of interesting information supported with pictures. Then the "ascent" on the spectacular escalator was impressive. There was more information on the plaza. It was super interesting and entertaining. Big thanks to the tour guide (I forgot my name but was born in Buenos Aires ...). Questions were answered readily. Afterwards we were able to walk independently around the Plaza and enjoy the view over Hamburg and the harbour. Conclusion: Highly recommended!

Necessarily, however, - It started at 11.00. Vanessa, our guide, first led our group outside briefly to explain some of the architecture. After that, we went inside with the escalator. The tour lasted 1.5 hours which passed far too quickly. The visit to the large concert hall was of course the highlight. Vanessa was able to give us a lot of information. It was a great tour!

Worth seeing - We saw a lot and felt very comfortable with our tour guide. We as a family have learned a lot about the building and its origins. Be sure to look at it when you are in Hamburg.

All in all a nice experience! - Spectacular construction and views, immediately found parking in the parking garage, friendly and helpful staff, all clean and tidy, great acoustics, good signage,- so far for the positive.......Unfortunately salted prices in the parking garage, and worst of all, the seats are mega uncomfortable(meant also a neighbor), and the legroom----- floor 16 area V ---is far too tight (thrombosis danger :-) !! Stronger light effects would be helpful to underline the atmosphere. But the concert was very nice, visit is repeated, despite everything!! C.J. and D.M., on 2.9.2024

Watch out! What is the performance ? - We had planned the viewing, too. I noticed that the concert halls are not included in the tour. By the way, you can visit the plaza for free, simply pick up a ticket at the entrance. Who provides a sound guided tour with the whole inner workings of the house and ! The concert hall is looking for, must book a guided tour directly in the house. These are highly interesting and include the concert halls as well as a lot of background information. We were absolutely delighted with the professional leadership. Is also cheaper by the way..... Everyone as he likes....
